The New Orleans Pelicans open the regular season on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers at the New Orleans Arena and there is plenty of optimism surrounding the team.

I think the Pelicans are going to make the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference and finish with a 45-37 record, a significant improvement from last season's 27-55 record.

But we want you to give us your predictions. Tell us if you think the Pelicans will make the playoffs or not, start the season with a five-game winning streak or three-game losing streak?

Do you think Jason Smith will emerge as the starting center or will Anthony Davis be an All-Star this season? Will shooting guard Eric Gordon play the entire season without injury or will he be traded by this February's deadline? What do you think the new mascot, set to be unveil before Wednesday's game, will be named.

Will they have a winning record or not? What's your predictions? Give us your thoughts in the comment section below.
